Fibre optic cable Helos 10m OS2 LC/ST

The Helos 10m OS2 LC/ST fibre optic cable is a single-mode patch cord designed for reliable, long-distance data transmission in structured networks. With a 10-metre length and OS2 fibre, the cable supports low attenuation and stable performance for high-speed links. The LC connector on one end and the ST connector on the other provide compatibility with a wide range of network devices and fibre panels, enabling full duplex communication and efficient signal routing in telecom and data centre environments.

Advantages

The fibre construction with a 9 µm core diameter ensures single-mode operation and minimal modal dispersion, which helps maintain signal integrity over extended runs. The combination of LC and ST connectors allows flexible interconnection between modern transceivers and legacy equipment. The 10 m length offers a convenient reach for connecting cabinets, patch panels and active devices without added splices or adapters, while OS2-grade glass minimises attenuation for long-haul or campus links.

Suitable for

• Backbone links in office or campus networks
• Connections between patch panels and optical transceivers
• Telecommunications equipment interconnects
• Data centre and server room cabling

How to use

Inspect connectors and ports for dust or damage before making connections. Insert the LC connector into the corresponding LC port and the ST connector into the ST port until the connector engages securely. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress; maintain the manufacturer’s recommended minimum bend radius for single-mode fibre. For permanent installations, secure the cable using clips or cable management panels to prevent movement and strain on connectors.

Recommendations

Keep connector end-faces clean using appropriate fibre cleaning tools and store unused connectors with protective caps. When routing the cable, avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force; follow industry best practices for handling single-mode fibre to preserve optical performance and minimise attenuation.
